Elena Kostyuchenko writing about Russia: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/feb/24/war-and-peace-russia-soldiers-ukraine
"[...] she calls me and says: “I don’t understand what this war is for.” I say nothing. Mama says: “On TV, they’re always saying ‘victory, we need victory’, but what is victory? Even if we conquer Ukraine, all we’ll get is a country in ruins and a people who hate us. Ukrainians know how to hate, we’ve taught them.” I say nothing. Mama says: “Fine. What am I to do about it, then?” And I say: “Mama, that’s a really good question.”"

As I've often said - "better" programming languages are mostly irrelevant. What actually matters are better programmers. https://mastodon.social/@tiraniddo@infosec.exchange/111900752433338295

Why aren't Israel's friends in the international community doing more to guarantee #PressFreedom? Why aren't the US, EU (including Sweden) and UK governments doing more to pressure Israel, Egypt and Hamas to allow international media to operate and report freely in #Gaza?
Today came news of a local politician for that party having an "Adolf" tatoo: https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/sd-politikerns-tatuering-adolf-i-runskrift-lamnar-sina-uppdrag
I'm disgusted by this, and also amazed: how can the current government fail to see that the whole thing looks really, really bad?
I mean, just the optics of it. Even if you want to throw away human rights and establish an authoritarian state, surely you must see that it looks bad to do it together with nazis? It's so wrong and so ugly.
How do these people think?

Now, in Sweden, we have similar proposals from the current government, backed by the "Sweden democrats", a party founded by nazis and other fascist-leaning people.
The government is proposing increased surveillance, violating citizens' right to privacy, and letting the police stop and search people for "looking suspicious" or wearing the wrong kind of clothes.
All cheered on by the founded-by-nazis "Sweden democrats" party.

About the Reichstag fire in 1933: "Only the morning after did I read about the fire in the parliament building, and not until noon did I hear about the arrests [people sent to concentration camps]. Around that time came the order abolishing the freedom of opinion and the secrecy of correspondence for private citizens and giving the police unlimited rights to [search, arrest, etc]"
Those were obvious steps for the nazis then, in 1933, when establishing their dictatorship.

Reading "A German man's history" (Geschichte eines Deutschen) or "Defying Hitler", written by Sebastian Haffner in 1939 about the decades leading up to the Nazis coming to power.
Made me think about current Swedish politics. #svpol

You're losing customers that way as they turn to products that don't require these kind of apps.
A public website accessible via any web browser makes not only us but also you independent from Apple's and Google's duopoly.
(Boosts appreciated, let's not get forced more and more into proprietary app stores)

Dear companies,
please don't make having access to Google's or Apple's app stores to use your products a requirement.
This locks so many of us out because we either don't have a compatible device or the device doesn't have the software to access these services (like google play services).
